Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and spray a muffin tin with non-stick spray. Mix shredded potatoes with a pinch of salt until evenly coated. Press about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into each muffin cup, creating nests. Bake for 20 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
  2. Once the hash brown cups have cooled slightly, crack one egg into each hash brown basket. Sprinkle with salt and pepper for added flavor.
  3. Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 15 to 18 minutes, until the egg whites are set. Watch for your desired yolk doneness.
  4. Allow them to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin with a fork or spatula. Serve warm with desired toppings.
